Igloo Hedgehog Feeder Pack

The wicker Igloo Hedgehog House can be used on the patio or lawn as a hedgehog shelter or feeding station. The pack comes complete with The Igloo Hedgehog House, a colour Guide to Hedgehogs, two types of food as well as food and water bowls.

The small entrance tunnel is designed to deter predators such as badgers and dogs, but if they are present in the area, we would recommend pinning the Igloo shelter down with pegs or weights (not supplied) to prevent theft of the food or possible harm to visiting hedgehogs.

The round painted steel frame has a water-proofed roof which is covered with a brush wood finish and decorated with withy bands. As the product is made from natural materials the appearance may vary due to seasonal availability and environmental factors.

Q: Is this hedgehog house suitable for hibernation? A: No, as it stands the Igloo Hedgehog House is designed as a shelter/retreat and NOT suitable for hibernation. You can however raise the shelter off the floor and cover it with further insulating material (such as carpet, tarpaulin etc) to add additional insulation for the colder months.

Q: How do I anchor down the Igloo Hedgehog House? A: The best way to secure the house is to use some metal pegs. Either tent pegs or the pegs used to hold garden mesh in place.

Q: Can you give me some advice on where to put a hedgehog house in my garden?A: Hedgehogs readily take up residence in appropriate hedgehog houses and for the best chances of success they should be situated in a quiet part of the garden, preferably against a wall or fence out of direct sunlight. Make sure the entrance is sheltered to avoid being exposed to drafts and strong winds.Hedgehog houses may be used for winter hibernation, throughout the summer as lie-ups or, if you're very lucky, by a pregnant female making a nest to have her young in June.

Q: How much food should I give my visiting hedgehogs?A: About a handful of food per hedgehog per evening will be fine. Hedgehogs are regular foragers, they tend to come and feed for 5-10 minutes, then wander off, possibly visiting the feeding station 2-3 times a night. Their ‘little and often’ approach means that if one source of food dries up, they will already be aware of several sites to visit.

Q: How can I ensure the safety of my visiting Hedgehogs against natural predators?A: With wildlife you cannot 100% guarantee the safety of your visiting hedgehogs. Placing food in a shelter with an entrance hole of 4 and half inches will deter most predators. It is also a good idea to ensure that any shelter is weighted or pinned down so they cannot be tipped over by any larger or stronger garden visitors. Badgers will dig and climb so you may also wish to ensure your perimeter is as secure as possible, again leaving a small gap for the visitors.

Hedgie was spotted hibernating in the small front garden hedge a few years ago and snuffling around the back garden recently so we decided to buy a more permanent shelter.
The house is adorable, beautifully crafted and Hedgie has happily moved in. We’ve piled up lots of leaves and added the hay. I am fascinated how regular Hedgie is at leaving the house each evening at around sunset to snack on the special food in the square bowl. The water dish has also been used not only by Hedgie but also birds and squirrels. It is a great starter kit.
Fast delivery, good service, highly recommended items.

Very impressed with this domed hedgehog house, which is very well made and natural looking. I also like the useful food dish and water dish that came with it with a couple of sample packs of food. Can’t wait to set it up for winter and hoping one of our little visitors will choose to settle into it during the winter months.
